Athletics track
The athletics track is not only the home of the professional runner, it can be used whether you want to simply run or if you want to supplement a gym programme with some outdoor exercise.
Gym
There is a superb selection of free weights used to build up muscle strength as well as cardiovascular equipment. Staff can provide you with training and advice and additional equipment to assist your training. Just recently we have introduced new equipment from gym giant 'Pulse Fitness'.
Artifical Pitch
The fully floodlight pitches have recently been upgraded to a new tiger turf surface ideally designed for Hockey but suitable for other sports. This is available throughout the year, whether it is for an organised body, a group of friends looking to play a game or parents seeking an unusual children’s party, the pitches can be hired for countless activities.
Powerplate
Powerplate equipment is the premium vibration device powering a new dimension in wellness solutions for all ages, lifestyles and physical abilities. It uses the principles of Acceleration Training to stimulate the body's natural response to vibration. These vibrations transmit waves of energy throughout the body, activating muscle contraction multiple times per second, enhancing overall performance in sessions as short as 15 minutes a day, 3 times a week.
